RESOLVED WITH VERSION 7029, DATED 1/6/2022

2022 Federal Payroll Tax tables are available with Main Office Software version 7019 dated 12/21/2021.

Allegheny Software has made an adjustment to how posting will be handled when doing Episodic Billing, as agencies will not have to bill a RAP to Medicare after 1/1/2022.

When a RAP or Final is billed – HHC 3000 will check to see if an Invoice is already there, if there is not invoice added, then it will be posted. If an Invoice is already posted- it will not post again.

When posting Episodic Billing, HHC 3000 will post as of the Start date of billing period first, unless a Security Date is preventing it. If a Security Date is preventing posting as of the Start Date of the Billing Period, then it will post as of the End Date of the Billing, unless a Security Date is preventing it. If a Security Date is preventing posting of the End Date, then it will post as of the date the claim was generated.

Notice of Admission

Effect 01/01/2021 CMS is requiring agencies to submit a Home Health Notice of Admission (NOA) instead of RAPs on and after 01/01/2021.

Per CMS guidelines (MLN Matters MM12256)

• HHA must submit a NOA to their MAC within 5 calendar days from the start of care date. The NOA is a one-time submission that establishes the HH POC and covers contiguous 30-day POCs until you discharge the individual from Medicare HH services
• All patients receiving HH services in 2021 whose services will continue in 2022, agencies should submit a NOA with a one-time, artificial “admission” date corresponding with the “From” date of the first period of continuing care in 2022
• There will be a non-timely submission reduction in payment amount tied to any late NOA submissions when you don’t submit the NOA within 5 calendar days from the start of care.
